    best place to add water temp sending unit for aftermarket gauge?

    My car is a 2009 GT. The crossover manifold does not have a hose outlet per se; the thermostat drops in on the driver side, covered by the thermostat housing, and the upper radiator hose attaches to the housing. I can tap into the passenger side pad as Dino Dino Bambino and BamBam06 suggested. I...

    best place to add water temp sending unit for aftermarket gauge?

    Sorry I'm a little dense and late to this party. So to tap into the crossover manifold you need to remove the intake and remove the crossover, drill and tap for the sender, and reinstall?

    Removing OEM UCA bracket

    Update: the tapping trick did not work. I dropped the gas tank another inch or so (maybe 2-1/2" total) and the bracket came right out. I can't feel anything that may have held it in place, but there is no doubt that the bung receiving the top bolt could not clear the frame reinforcement.

    Removing OEM UCA bracket

    Yes. Last two times the OEM bracket came out and went back in without messing with the tank. This time, no such luck. Ha. If you find out, let me know. I cheated by torquing it in full droop. I have a spherical bearing on the differential so I wasn't too worried about twisting a poly bushing.

    Removing OEM UCA bracket

    2009 GT. I have removed and replaced the third link bracket twice without trouble--did not even have to drop the gas tank. Now I have a new bracket from Steeda. This afternoon I removed all the bolts easily (well, with the help of a breaker bar and a 1" pipe) and the bracket and link are loose...

    HOW TO GET THE MOST BOLT ON POWER FROM MY MUSTANG GT

    You can trust almost everything that guy with the red car ;) and Pentalab say. I followed Kenny Brown's mantra of chassis, suspension, wheels and tires, and brakes--in that order. I wish I had started with 18 or 19x10's all around with 285 mm tires. Other than the crack cocaine of 4.10's, easily...

    S550- 6 piston Brembos on 05-14 GT Guide (affordable)

    I have Apex EC7 19x10's on a 2009 GT and there is plenty of clearance with 6p S550 Brembos in front.

    Sleeve in valve cover?

    Yes, the sparkplug goes through the tube before it threads into the cylinder head. Part of one valve spring is visible through the gap created when the piece was removed. FWIW, the part is not separately listed or identified in the FSM. I replaced it by tapping on a socket as Mooosestang...

    Sleeve in valve cover?

    Changing spark plugs and this came out of one of the valve cover slots. How do I put it back in? Does it need an o-ring or washer? Thanks in advance.

    S550- 6 piston Brembos on 05-14 GT Guide (affordable)

    Clip goes in great without pads. With pads, cross piece deflects considerably against the pad ears. Seating the pins may help, but will not eliminate the deflection.

    S550- 6 piston Brembos on 05-14 GT Guide (affordable)

    I have all the bits for this upgrade but I can't get them to fit together. I sourced the clips and pins from LMR, using a part # (LRS-18225) the OP linked. I also bought Hawk pads. The pins and pads fit perfectly inside the Brembo calipers, but for the life of me I cannot get the anti-rattle...

    S550- 6 piston Brembos on 05-14 GT Guide (affordable)

    Total brain lapse. I have all the bits (they are freaking HUGE, like playing with Tonka toys after Matchbox cars). I can't figure out how the spring clips fit with the pins and pads. Can someone post a pic to help me out? Thanks.

    GT500 Rear Caliper Adapters

    This may be late, but I just bought the SVR billet aluminum brackets with GT500 rotors from LMR. Uses OEM GT calipers, just relocates them outboard to fit the larger rotors. https://lmr.com/item/SVE-GT500AB-K/mustang-sve-gt500-rear-brake-adapter-bracket-kit-05-14

    Recommendation on 2-piece (aluminum hat) front disks for this setup?

    Clunk Clunk Sound.

    Find it now, before you bolt anything new on. In order, I added to my 2009 GT: CAI and tune; shifter; Ford Performance handling pack (springs, struts, shocks, F&R sway bars, panhard bar); GT 500 front control arms; adjustable rear third link; adjustable rear control arms (poly + spherical...

    Looking for a couple of these

    Sorry. Thought you were trying to find an 18x10 that fit S197s, and I was pretty sure Apex made some. did not realize you were trying to match the wheel in the photo.

    Tried Apex? Recently bought 19x10 EC7's through Steeda and put 295s on all four corners.

    Seat cover rec'o

    I bought a set for the front seats in my 1999 4runner from "Seat Covers Unlimited" on Amazon. They were around $200 and made with a textured leatherette fabric. The listing no longer appears online. Four years later they are still snug and show almost no signs of wear. Caveat: Except for an...

    Wes Duenkel's S197 Modification book

    I listened to Wes Duenkel on Kenny Brown's Cars and Coffee Saturday morning. Wes wrote a book about modifying 2011-2014 S197 Mustangs with the coyote motor. I have a 2009 GT with a 4.6 3V. Already have installed lots of chassis and suspension mods. Is it worth $33 for Duenkel's book, if I need...
